333, Farewell (5 More Updates)
Wang Shaoyu nodded, stealing a glance at Xie Zhinuan.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The tea was fragrant and pure, the best he had tasted.
“Do you have any requirents for the tutoring fee?” Xie Zhinuan asked.
Wang Shaoyu set down the teacup before he seriously said, “I might not be able to teach much, as I need to spend more ti studying, but you also need to start by morizing the nas of dicines, their properties, and how to prepare them!”
“I’m already looking into it and can recite several texts by heart. It’s just the ridians and pulse-taking that I haven’t grasped yet!” Xie Zhinuan said softly.
“…”
Wang Shaoyu was surprised, “Do you really want to learn dicine?”
“Yes, it’s true. I also know that learning dicine cannot be achieved in a few days and that I am only a beginner. Besides morizing, I will need your guidance!”
“I will definitely give you all my knowledge!”
Xie Zhinuan asked if five taels of silver per month for the tutoring fee would be acceptable?
Wang Shaoyu was startled, “No need, that’s too much!”
He was aware that he probably couldn’t teach Xie Zhinuan much.
“I would feel guilty accepting so much silver!”
“Not at all. I’ve always thought that your dical skills are good. Don’t decline it. By the way, where are you staying now? If you’re renting a place in the county or staying with a classmate, why not move in here? I have a courtyard with an empty room. Also, I have a rather private matter I want to ask you about!” Xie Zhinuan said softly.
“You say!” Wang Shaoyu straightened up, earnestly said.
“You are well-read and knowledgeable. Do you know about Eunuchs?”
“…” Wang Shaoyu stood up, shocked and incredulous as he looked at Xie Zhinuan.
He opened his mouth to say sothing, but didn’t know how to start.
“It’s like this, I picked up a child before and he…” Xie Zhinuan paused, “he is a Eunuch. I wonder if you have any experience in this area? If not, could you help look into it later on?”
For conditions like Xie Yi’s, she didn’t know if they could be treated, but regardless, she still wanted to try her best, should there be a cure.
No matter what thod or how much silver it costs, she didn’t care.
“…” Wang Shaoyu was shocked for a mont before he said, “Okay!”
He agreed on the spot.
“Then, you can move here whenever you’re ready. I’ll have soone tidy the place for you. I have to go out, so make yourself at ho!” Xie Zhinuan said, rising to her feet.
Wang Shaoyu quickly stood up as well.
He watched as Xie Zhinuan called over the silly girl to take Wang Shaoyu to see the room. The courtyard next door was where Uncle Mute and Xie Yi lived, very quiet and suitable for studying, and Xie Yi never cried.
Wang Shaoyu told the silly girl he would move his things over, and she imdiately arranged for soone to accompany him.
When Wang Shaoyu arrived at the Xuan Residence with his people, Xuan Mu was entertaining guests. Wang Shaoyu had his things packed up since he had few possessions: so clothes, a few books, writing brushes, and inkstones, pitifully few.
They were easily packed.
Wang Shaoyu waited for Xuan Mu to send off the guests before he went to see him.
“You’re moving out?”
“Yes, I’m going to ‘Kechanglai.’ Miss Xie wants to hire a tutor who understands dicine, and I happen to be qualified. I thought of earning so tutoring fee so I can study in the prefectural city next year!” Wang Shaoyu said warmly.
“If you’re short of silver, you could have told . I…”
“Brother Xuan, I appreciate the kindness, but Miss Xie is offering a generous tutoring fee. Plus, she covers room and board, and the courtyard she has provided for is very quiet and well-suited for studying!”
